Selective Flotation
Mass VS Copper Recovery | Copper Recovery VS Total Sulfur Recovery | Copper Grade VS Copper Recovery. PS: in case you need help evaluating a grade/recovery curve… Flotation assays do provide much information which can and need be analized in details. For example a piece of data often overlooked is a the creation of a 'selectivity curve'.

Advances in Gravity Gold Technology
The economic benefits of gravity recovery are application dependent, as shown in Table 19.2. For more than 95% of all applications, gravity recovery targets GRG to supplement cyanidation or flotation, thereby increasing overall gold recovery by 1–10% and reducing some of the costs associated with carbon stripping and regeneration.

Flotation
The test is a means of determining the flotation characteristics of an ore. It is conducted in a laboratory scale cell usually with a volume of two point five litres. The intention is to generate relationships of cumulative recovery, mass pull and grade versus time and use these to evaluate the floatability of metal, mineral and gang.

Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores
For the bulk flotation of copper minerals and gold from supergene copper ores, it is normal practice to add a xanthate as the primary collector and dithiophosphate as a secondary collector (Bulatovic, 1997). This combination gives satisfactory results in respect of copper concentrate grade and copper and gold recoveries.

This may be an alternative treatment route for gold room applications where fine gold losses can occur when treating gravity concentrates with pyrite and copper sulphides present. Floating gold from the sulphides could produce a directly smeltable product. Copper sulphides are selectively floated from pyrite ores at high pH's in excess of 11.
